Metal Inside(r) Home Quarantine is Metal Insider’s new column during this time of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked artists five questions on what’s been keeping them busy ranging from their favorite movies, food they’ve been eating, music they’ve been listening to and more. We caught up with Serene Dark’s Dale Sauve as he’s been spending this time reading a lot.

What have you been doing to pass time during Quarantine?

Where we live in Canada things are slowly starting to get back to normal. The last 4 months have been kind of crazy, a lot of us were out of work, our drummer is an essential worker so he has been very burnt out. Lots of reading, video games, tv shows/movies, and writing more new music.

Have you been listening to any music or have any playlists worth checking out?

 New Carach Angren is a pretty solid listen. Been jamming some Death Atlas (Cattle Decapitation) and some of the newer Wolfheart and Behemoth releases.

A lot of people have been spending this time cooking including making their own bread, what food have you been prepping during this time?

 I have been running the charcoal BBQ non stop, cooking steaks, pork chops, roasts, chicken, and even bacon. Nothing like a cold beer, fire and a charcoal BBQ meal.

In terms of entertainment, what movies, TV shows, books, or games have been keeping you busy?

I personally have been playing a shit ton of World of Warcraft classic, picked up a Nintendo Switch right before the pandemic got crazy so I have been playing some classics like Zelda and Super Smash bros. Watching a lot of TV and a lot of movies but there are 4 months worth of em, that’s too much for my brain to list off.

What advice do you have for your fans in isolation during this time?

Write some music if you are a musician, if not check out some new music. Stay safe and be thankful we live in an age with the internet, shit could be a lot worse.
